Good luck Jason! What sort of employment are you looking for?

From Jason D on Tue, Dec 16, 2014 at 21:54:23 from 68.80.27.222

The kind that pays! I am applying to academic jobs but they are few and far between. Highly, highly competitive. We shall see. Megan has a good job, so if nothing turns up we will be okay as long as I am doing SOMETHING, as I am doing now.

Paychecks are good! I'm sure you'll find something. If not right away, soon enough.

You should be the NFL commissioner. They need a new one.

You would start off at about $50k teaching in Philadelphia. Close to what I make with 18 years in here in Utah.

Do I have to know anything about football? It's the one major ball sport I didn't play and I don't know many of the rules.

I had thought about trying for secondary school positions except many of the public schools in Philadelphia come with salaries that have "hazard pay." Things aren't pretty, as I am sure you are aware. Some good schools though. No option for a partner higher at La Salle unfortunately.

Working is overrated.
